Looks like an evanoid wasp - perhaps
Evania sp. ... but I'll let other more experienced people confirm or deny that :)

Yes, quite right, this should be Evania sp.!

The evanoids are some of my favourite wasps but I have never seen an
Evania in the wild :( We get plenty of
Gasteruption spp. here and in fact I caught a really unusual one yesterday in my garden ... it is really tiny (8-9mm head to tip of abdomen) so I am hoping it is
G. minutum :D (looking good so far). It has the same strange way of sitting with its wings folded down between the gaster and hind legs too :)
